Just about anybody can strap themselves into this baby, created by the robotics firm Sarcos, Inc. to help enhance human endurance and strength. Once they do, expect to be able to do some MAJOR heavy lifting, up to 20 times that of the average human. Funded by the military (of course,) the plan is to have this baby load cargo and do repairs on larger objects. Naturally, there’s a twinkle in the Defense Department’s eye, and dreams of using it for combat someday. We shall see. For now, rejoice as Mamoru Oshii’s Patlabor comes to life in the real world.
